A study on the implementation of family physicians contracted service / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Family physicians contracted service is an important choice to deepen the reform of China′s healthcare reform and achieve the strategic goal of " health for all" . In order to effectively promote the contracted service, the central government has successively issued a number of policy documents, which are echoed by the localities in their proactive explorations, achieving remarkable results. But there are also multiple roadblocks hindering the contracted service to progress. This article referred to the three-circle theory and studied policy implementation from the three dimensions of policy value, policy resources, and policy impetus. A thorough analysis of the problems in the implementation process revealed such main problems as insufficient family physicians, inadequacy of supporting policies and low level of policy acceptance among the young healthy age groups. The follow-up work will promote the long-term implementation of the family physicians contracted service policy by enriching the family physicians team, enriching supporting policies, and focusing on promotions to key age groups.
